1 589 Example name Effect size Analysis type Level BCG Risk ratio Subgroups analysis, Regression Advanced Synopsis This analysis includes studies where patients were randomized to receive either a vaccine or a placebo Outcome was the proportion of patients each group who developed TB. The analysis focused on the risk ratio. There was substantial dispersion in the risk ratio. The researchers looked to see if this was related to the study s latitude (a surrogate for the vaccine s potency and for the natural immunity in the population) and several other variables. We use this example to show How to interpret a basic analysis using Risk Ratio How to understand the heterogeneity statistics How to perform a subgroups analysis How a regression analysis corresponds to a subgroups analysis How to perform a regression analysis using a categorical predictor How to perform a regression analysis using a continuous predictor
2 590 STATISTICS IN MEDICINE, VOL. 14, (1995) A RANDOM-EFFECTS REGRESSION MODEL FOR META-ANALY SIS C. S. BERKEY, D. C. HOAGLIN,* F. MOSTELLER AND G. A. COLDITZ Technology Assessment Group. Harvard School of Public Health, 677 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, U.S.A. SUMMARY Many meta-analyses use a random-effects model to account for heterogeneity among study results, beyond the variation associated with fixed effects. A random-effects regression approach for the synthesis of 2 x 2 tables allows the inclusion of covariates that may explain heterogeneity. A simulation study found that the random-effects regression method performs well in the context of a meta-analysis of the efficacy of a vaccine for the prevention of tuberculosis, where certain factors are thought to modify vaccine efficacy. A smoothed estimator of the within-study variances produced less bias in the estimated regression coefficients. The method provided very good power for detecting a non-zero intercept term (representing overall treatment efficacy) but low power for detecting a weak covariate in a meta-analysis of 10 studies. We illustrate the model by exploring the relationship between vaccine efficacy and one factor thought to modify efficacy. The model also applies to the meta-analysis of continuous outcomes when covariates are present. INTRODUCTION The literature of medical research has become too massive for individual researchers and clinicians to digest, particularly when studies provide seemingly contradictory conclusions. Thus the quantitative synthesis of previous research has become an important part of the scientific method. Overview, research synthesis and meta-analysis are general terms applied to these techniques for the aggregation and synthesis of prior research.2 Two recent reports3q4 discuss current statistical methods for data synthesis. Rubin and others have criticized conventional meta-analysis techniques that average the outcomes of available studies. Instead, Rubin suggests a need to move beyond current approaches to understand the underlying science. He proposes that meta-analysis models estimate the effect of treatment versus control as a function of a set of scientific factors that influence efficacy (for example, age, race, gender) and a set of design factors (sample size, randomization, blindness, etc.). As a step toward this goal, we present (in a specific context) a random-effects regression model for meta-analysis based on ideas presented by Morris6 Although the basic method applies to a continuous outcome variable, the present paper also describes a regression approach to supplement the random-effects model of DerSimonian and Laird for synthesis of 2 x 2 tables.

4 592 STEP 1: ENTER THE DATA Insert column for study names Click Insert > Column for > Study names Figure 1 The program creates a column labeled Study name Figure 2
5 593 Insert columns for effect size data Click Insert > Column for > Effect size data Figure 3 The program opens a wizard that allows you to specify the kind of summary data you will enter Select <Show all 100 formats> Click <Next> Figure 4
6 594 Select the top option button Click <Next> Figure 5
7 595 On this screen, drill down to Dichotomous (number of events) Unmatched groups, prospective (e.g., controlled trials, cohort studies) Events and sample size in each group [H] Then, click <Finish> Note that we will be entering events and sample size (N) for each group. Some of the texts that use the BCG example report events and non-events rather than events and N. Figure 6
8 596 The program creates columns as shown here. It also opens a wizard that allows you to label the columns. Enter Vaccine/Control as names for the two groups Enter TB/Ok as names for the two outcomes Then, click Ok Figure 7 The program applies the labels as shown here [K]. Figure 8
9 597 Insert columns for moderators (covariates) Next, we need to create columns for the moderator variables. Click Insert > Column for > Moderator variable Figure 9
10 598 The program opens a wizard Set the variable name to Latitude Set the column function to Moderator Set the data type to Integer Then, click OK Figure 10
11 599 Click Insert > Column for > Moderator variable Set the variable name to Year Set the column function to Moderator Set the data type to Integer (This is the year the study was performed, not the year of publication) Then, click OK Figure 11
12 600 Click Insert > Column for > Moderator variable Set the variable name to Allocation Set the column function to Moderator Set the data type to Categorical This moderator tracks the mechanism utilized to assign people to be vaccinated (or not). The possibilities are random, alternate, and systematic. Then, click [Ok] Figure 12
13 601 Click Insert > Column for > Moderator variable Set the variable name to Climate Set the column function to Moderator Set the data type to Categorical This moderator tracks the climate. The possibilities are Cold and Hot. Then, click [OK] Figure 13
14 602 Customize the screen The program initially displays the odds ratio. Since we want to work with the log risk ratio we need to customize the display. (We will use the log risk ratio rather than the risk ratio since the computations are easier to understand in log units). Right-click in any yellow column Click <Customize computed effect size display> [A] Figure 14
15 603 The program displays this wizard Tick the box for Risk ratio Tick the box for Log risk ratio Figure 15
16 604 To keep things simple we can set Log risk ratio as the default effect size, and also hide the odds ratio In the drop-down box, select Log risk ratio as the primary index Un-check the box for odds ratio Un-check the box for log odds ratio Then click [Ok] Figure 16
17 605 The screen now looks like this Figure 17
18 606 Enter the data You can enter the data manually, or copy and paste from Excel or another source (see appendix) Note that you enter data into the white columns. The program automatically computes the values in the yellow columns. Figure 18
19 607 STEP 2: RUN THE BASIC META-ANALYSIS To run the analysis, click <Run Analysis> Figure 19
20 608 The main analysis screen The program displays the main analysis screen. The program shows the current effect size, which is Log risk ratio. If you want to switch to another effect size, click on Log risk ratio. The next few pages outline the main analysis in CMA. However, this is optional. You can use the menu Analysis > Meta-regression 2 to proceed immediately to the regression module.
21 609 The initial meta-analysis At the top, we have selected [Log risk ratio] as the effect size. At the bottom the <Fixed> tab is selected, so the program is displaying the results for a fixed-effect analysis. Figure 20
22 610 Click the tab for <Random>. The program displays results for a random-effects analysis. Figure 21
23 611 Display moderator variables Next, we want to display the moderator variables on the plot. Note that this is optional, and has no effect on the regression. Click View > Columns > Moderators Figure 22
24 612 The program displays a list of all variables that had been defined as moderators on the data-entry screen. Drag and drop each of these onto the main screen, to the right of the p-value column [G]. Figure 23
25 613 The screen should now look like this. Since the data had been sorted by latitude on the data-entry screen, the program initially displays the studies in that sequence. It appears that the effect size is minor (near 1.0) toward the top (for studies near the equator)and larger (as extreme as 0.20) toward the bottom (for studies in colder climates). You can right-click on any column and sort by that column. Figure 24
26 614 Display statistics Click <Next table> to display the statistics shown here. Using random-effects weights [J], the summary log risk ratio is The Z-value is with a corresponding p-value of Thus, we can reject the null hypothesis that log risk ratio is 0.0 (or that the risk ratio is 1.0). If we assume that the studies are valid and that random assignment was carried out properly, we can conclude that, on the average, the vaccine does prevent TB. At the same time, there is also a substantial amount of dispersion in the effect size. Tau-squared [K] is and Tau is To get a general sense of the true dispersion we can assume that the true effects are balanced about the random-effects estimate of the mean effect, and that some 95% of all true effects fall within 1.96 T of this mean. Then (in log units) most true effects fall in the range of to This corresponds to risk ratios of approximately 0.16 (a strongly protective effect) to 1.46 (a harmful effect). It would be very important to understand the reason for this dispersion, and for this purpose we turn to meta-regression Figure 25
27 615 STEP 3: RUN THE META-REGRESSION At this point we proceed to the meta-regression. On the analysis screen, select Analysis > Meta-regression 2 Figure 26
28 616 The Interactive Wizard The program displays the screen shown in Figure 27. The interactive wizard will walk you through all the steps in running the regression. To display or hide the wizard use the Help menu. Figure 27
29 617 Add covariates to the model When you initially open the regression module the program displays the following The main screen A list of available covariates Figure 28 Move the covariates from the wizard onto the main screen. Add variables in the sequence shown here (allocation, year, latitude) to recreate the example that we use in this text. Click Allocation on the wizard and then click [Add to model] Click Year on the wizard and then click [Add to model] Click Latitude on the wizard and then click [Add to model]
30 618 The model is shown in Figure 29 Note that Allocation is displayed as two lines, which are linked by a bracket. Since allocation is a categorical variable the program automatically creates and dummy variables to represent allocation. See next chapter for a full discussion. Tick the check-boxes for all covariates Figure 29 The covariates are controlled by the Covariates toolbar [Show covariates] shows or hides the wizard [Remove covariates] allows you to remove a covariate from the main screen [Move up] and [Move down] allow you to edit the sequence of covariates The blue and red checks allow you to add (or remove) checks from a series of check-boxes
31 619 Create a Set of covariates (optional) In regression there are times when we use several covariates to capture a concept. For example If we have a categorical covariate with m values, we use (m 1) covariates to represent this variable in the analysis. If we want to assess the relationship between duration of treatment and effect we might include powers of duration such as duration, duration 2, and duration 3 as predictors. We may have a series of covariates, such as income and education that, together, are taken to represent the impact of socio-economic status. We may have a series of covariates such as dose and duration that, taken together, are intended to represent the intensity of a treatment We may have two covariates and also the interaction between, where the three together represent their influence on outcome. For this example we ll assume that we have an additional covariate, called Latititude2, which is Latitude squared. We want to create a set that incorporates Latitude and Latitude2, and call that set Latitude Set. Move Latitude into the model Move Latitude2 into the model To create a set covariates Ensure that the covariates intended for the set are sequential in the list Highlight these covariates [B] Figure 30
32 620 To create the set Click [Link Covariates] Enter the name Latitude Set and click Ok Figure 31 Figure 32 The program has now created a set called Latitude Set which includes the two covariates. When you run the regression the program will display statistics for this set.
33 621 To remove a set Highlight the set s name Click Unlink Covariates
34 622 Set statistical options The program allows you to specify various options for the computations Click Computational options to display this menu Figure 33 Edit any of the settings, including Set the method for estimating T 2 Use a one-tailed or two-tailed test for p-values Set the confidence level Display the variance inflation factor Use the Z distribution or the Knapp-Hartung adjustment for p-values and confidence intervals
35 623 Run the regression To run the regression, simply click Run regression on the toolbar [A]
36 624 STEP 4: NAVIGATE THE RESULTS Main results screen After you run the regression Click [Main Results] [A] Click the desired prediction model [B] Click Fixed or Random at the bottom to select the statistical model. Figure 34
37 625 H Figure 35
38 626 Plot To display the plot Click [Scatterplot] on the menu bar to navigate to the plot [A] Select Fixed or Random on the tab [B] Select the model (if more than one model had been defined) [C] To specify the variable for the X-axis, right-click on the X-axis label [D]
39 627 Other screens To navigate to other tables of results, click More and then select any of the following The following provide additional information about the analysis for the predictive model that is selected at the bottom left of the screen R-squared graphic Covariance Correlation Diagnostics The following provide information about the data included in (or excluded from) the analysis All studies Valid studies The following provide statistics for and/or compare different models Increments Models summary Compare models (detailed) Compare models (p-value)
40 628 STEP 4: SAVE THE ANALYSIS Once you ve created a meta-regression you can save it using File > Save regression file as This will save the regression template with an extension of.cmr. The.cmr file save the instructions for the analysis, NOT the data. By analogy, programs such as SPSS, SAS, and stata allow you to save a set of commands in one file and the data in another file. The commands can then be applied to any data file that has the same variables. The.cmr file saves the following The list of covariates The list of models The check-boxes for each model The sets The model names In another session you can return to the regression module and click File > Open file to open this file, and re-run the analysis. This can be with the same dataset as you had used before, or with another dataset. For example, you may return to the data-entry screen and add new studies, or you may return to the main analysis screen and edit the filters, or you may be working with an entirely different data set that has the same variables as the first one. When you open a cmr file the program simply recreates the main MR screen as though you had entered it manually. The MR file does not save the statistical settings that were in place when the file was created. These include the method employed to estimate T 2, the use of Z or Knapp-Hartung, the confidence level, the choice of a one-sided or two-sided test.
41 629 Step 5: Export the results The program offers two options for exporting the results of any analysis. Export the results to Excel. Then, you can perform additional computations within Excel, and/or format the results and copy them as a table to other programs Copy the results to the clipboard as a picture. Then, paste this picture into Word or any other program. The example here is for the main analysis screen. The screen looks like this

45 633 Impact of the full model Analysis of variance In this section the total WSS is partitioned into its component parts The WSS explained by the covariates (the model) The WSS not explained by the covariates (the residual). Model This is the test that the predictive model explains any of the variance in effect size. Put another way, it asks if the dispersion of effects about the regression line smaller when the regression line is based on the covariates rather than based solely on the grand mean. Here, Q = with df = 4 and p < , so we conclude that the predictive model explains (at least) some of the variance in effect size. Residual This is the test that the data are consistent with the model s assumption of a common effect size for all studies with the same predicted value. The Q value is with df = 8 and p = We conclude that the data are not consistent with the assumptions of the fixed-effect model. Total This is the test that the variance for the full set of studies (with no predictors) is zero. The Q-value is with df = 12 and p < Impact of individual covariates The test of the model is an omnibus test for the full set of covariates. It tells us that the set as a whole is related to effect size. By contrast, the table at the top addresses the impact of each covariate. In this table, the impact of each covariate is reported with all of the other covariates partialled out (or held constant). Since the effect size is the risk ratio, all analyses are carried out in log metric and all coefficients are in the log metric. In this example, virtually all predicted effects are less than zero, so 0 is no effect, -1 is a large effect, and -2 is a very large effect. In this example, therefore, a negative coefficients means that as the covariate gets larger the vaccine is more effective. (The reverse would be true if the predicted values were all positive). The coefficient for Year is , which means that for every increase of one year the log risk ratio will increase by (the vaccine became less effective over time). The corresponding p-value is The coefficient for latitude [I]is , which means that for every increase of one unit (degree) in latitude the log risk ratio will decrease by (vaccine is more effective at greater latitudes). The coefficient plus/minus 1.96 times the standard error (0.0084) yields the 95% confidence interval for the coefficient, which is to The coefficient divided by its standard error yields a Z value of
46 , and the corresponding p-value of Thus, when year and allocation method are held constant, the relationship between latitude and effect size is statistically significant. Impact of a set of covariates The model includes two covariates that have been identified as a set. These are Alternate allocation and Systematic allocation. The test of the set tells us if allocation is related to effect size. In this case Q = with df = 2 and p = , and so there is evidence that effect size is related to allocation type. For a more specific analysis we can look at each line within the set, and see that Alternate allocation has a coefficient of (the vaccine is less effective in studies that employed alternate allocation) and a p-value of However, as discussed in the chapter on caveats, this finding is almost certainly due to a confound with other factors. Summary The total Q of each effect size about the grand mean can be partitioned into its component parts the Q due to the variation in effect size that can be explained by the covariates, and the part that cannot. Model. The Q-value for the model is with df = 4 and p < , which tells us that effect size is related to at least one of the covariates. Residual. The Q-value for the residual is with df = 8 and p = , which tells us that the assumptions of the fixed-effect model have been violated. Total. The Q-value for the total is with df = 12 and p < , which tells us that that effect sizes vary when we ignore subgroups and work with deviations of all studies from the grand mean. Impact of individual covariates The test of the model is an omnibus test for the full set of covariates. It tells us that at least one of the covariates is related to effect size. By contrast, the table at the top addresses the impact of each covariate. In this table, the impact of each covariate is reported with all of the other covariates partialled out (or held constant). The p-values tell us if there is evidence that the covariate is related to effect size when the other covariates are held constant. The p-value for allocation is Specifically, with other covariates held constant alternate allocation is associated with a smaller effect size (but see the chapter on caveats). The p-value for year is , with the studies that fall further from the equator showing more impact of the vaccine. The p-value for latitude is , with the studies that fall further from the equator showing more impact of the vaccine.

48 636 Test of the model Is effect size related to the covariates? The test of the model is a simultaneous test that all covariates (except the intercept) are zero. The Q- value is with df = 4 and p = We reject the null and conclude that at least one of the covariates is related to effect size. Goodness of fit Is there any unexplained variance in the true effect sizes? Immediately above, we saw that the covariates improve our ability to predict that study s effect. But does this information enable us to completely predict that study s effect do all studies with the same values on all covariates share a common effect size? Or is there variance in true effects among studies with the same predicted value? The Q statistic, based on the deviation of each study from its predicted value, is , with 8 df and the corresponding p-value is This tells us that the true effect size varies from study to study, even for studies that are identical on all covariates. Put another way, the model is incomplete knowing a study s allocation type, year, and latitude does not allow us to completely predict its effect size. How much variance is there? The program shows that T 2, the variance of true effect sizes at any point on the regression line, is It follows that the T, the standard deviation of true effect sizes at any point on the regression line is We can use this to get a sense of how closely the true effects at any point on the regression line are (or are not) clustered together. In Figure 26 we ve plotted all 13 studies, the regression line, and a series of normal curves about the regression line. Each normal curve has a height of 1.96 T and is centered about some point on the regression line. If the true effects are normally distributed with standard deviation T, then 95% of studies with that predicted value will have a true effect size within the range of the normal curve.
49 637 L M N Figure 36 What proportion of the observed variance is true variance? The variance that cannot be explained by the covariates includes within-study variance (essentially error) and between-study variance (that can be potentially explained by additional study-level covariates). The I 2 statistic is 66.69%, which tells us that 67% of the remaining variance falls into the latter group. Impact of individual covariates The test of the model is an omnibus test for the full set of covariates. It tells us that at least one of the covariates is related to effect size. By contrast, the table at the top addresses the impact of each covariate. In this table, the impact of each covariate is reported with all of the other covariates partialled out (or held constant). Since the effect size is the risk ratio, all analyses are carried out in log metric and all coefficients are in the log metric. In this example, virtually all predicted effects are less than zero, so 0 is no effect, -1 is a large effect, and -2 is a very large effect. In this example, therefore, a negative coefficients means that as the covariate gets larger the vaccine is more effective. (The reverse would be true if the predicted values were all positive). The model includes two covariates that have been identified as a set. These are Alternate allocation and Systematic allocation [G]. The test of the set tells us if allocation is related to effect size. In this case Q = with df = 2 and p = 0.46, and so there is no evidence that effect size is related to allocation type. The coefficient for Year [H] is , which means that for every increase of one year the log risk ratio will increase by (the vaccine became less effective over time). The corresponding p-value is
50 638 The coefficient for latitude [I] is , which means that for every increase of one unit (degree) in latitude the log risk ratio will decrease by (vaccine is more effective at greater latitudes). The coefficient plus/minus 1.96 times the standard error (0.0159) yields the 95% confidence interval for the coefficient, which is to The coefficient divided by its standard error yields a Z value of , and the corresponding p-value of Thus, when year and allocation method are held constant, the relationship between latitude and effect size not is statistically significant. In this example none of the individual covariates has a p-value less than Since the model as a whole is statistically significant, the fact that no covariate is statistically significant probably reflects the fact that some of the covariates are correlated with each other. For example, latitude or year might be statistically significant if entered into the equation alone. However, if the two are correlated with each other and compete for the same variance, neither meets the threshold for statistical significance. Comparison of Model 1 with the null model The intent of this display is to report how much variance there is initially (without covariates), and how much variance remains (with covariates). Then, by comparing the two, we can report that the covariates explained some proportion of the initial variance. Total between-study variance (intercept only) To get the initial amount of variance we run a regression with no covariates and compute T 2. Here, T 2 is , which is the variance of all studies about the grand mean. Proportion of variance explained To get the final amount of variance we run a regression with the covariates and compute T 2. This value, reported above as , is the variance of studies about their predicted value. If the initial T 2 is and the remaining T 2 is , the difference (0.1894) is the T 2 explained by the model. Then we can compute R 2, the proportion explained by the model, as The proportion of variance explained is called R 2. To compute R 2 we follow the logic in the preceding paragraph. We compute T 2 with no covariates [J] to provide the value at left. We already have T 2 with covariates [E] to provide the value at right. Then R 2 is computed as ( )/ = We can show this graphically. At left, the normal curve reflects the unexplained variance in effects when the predicted value for each study is the grand mean. At right, the normal curves represent the unexplained variance in effects when the predicted value for each study is based on the regression line. The variance at the right is less than the variance at the left, which tells us that by using these covariates we can reduce the unexplained variance or (equivalently) explain some of the variance.
51 639 O P Q R Figure 37 Summary The Q-Model is with df = 1 and p < This tells us that effect size is related to latitude. The Q-value for goodness of fit is with df = 12 and p = This tells us that the effect size varies, even within studies at the same latitude. The Q-total is with df = 12 and p < This tells us that effect sizes vary when we ignore latitude and work with deviations of all studies from the grand mean. The observed variance in effect sizes is partly due to real differences and partly due to withinstudy sampling error. When there are no covariates [D] the I 2 value is 92%, which tells us that 92% of the observed variance is real, and may potentially be explained by covariates. When we use these covariates [J] the I 2 value is 66.69%, which tells us that 66.69% of the remaining variance is real, and may potentially be explained by additional covariates. The between-study variance is estimated at at any given point on the regression line based on these covariates, as compared to for the regression line based on the grand mean. This corresponds to an R 2 of 61.33%, meaning that some 61% of the true variance in effects can be explained by the covariates.
